They were obliged to camp out that night under a large tree in the forest, for there were no
houses near. The tree made a good, thick covering to protect them from the dew, and the
Tin Woodman chopped a great pile of wood with his axe and Dorothy built a splendid fire
that warmed her and made her feel less lonely. She and Toto ate the last of their bread, and
now she did not know what they would do for breakfast.
“If you wish,” said the Lion , “I will go into the forest and kill a deer for you. You can roast
it by the fire, since your tastes are so peculiar that you prefer cooked food, and then you will
have a very good breakfast.”
“Don’t! Please don’t,” begged the Tin Woodman . “I should certainly weep if you killed a
poor deer, and then my jaws would rust again.”
But the Lion went away into the forest and found his own supper, and no one ever knew
what it was, for he didn’t mention it. And the Scarecrow found a tree full of nuts and filled
Dorothy’s basket with them, so that she would not be hungry for a long time. She thought
this was very kind and thoughtful of the Scarecrow , but she laughed heartily at the awkward
way in which the poor creature picked up the nuts. His padded hands were so clumsy and the
nuts were so small that he dropped almost as many as he put in the basket. But the Scarerow
did not mind how long it took him to fill the basket, for it enabled him to keep away from
the flames , as he feared a spark might get into his straw and burn him up. So he kept a good
distance away from the flames, and only came near to cover Dorothy with dry leaves when she
lay down to sleep. These kept her very snug and warm, and she slept soundly until morning.
When it was daylight, the girl bathed her face in a little rippling brook, and soon after they
all started toward the Emerald City.
This was to be an eventful day for the travelers. They had hardly been walking an hour when
they saw before them a great ditch that crossed the road and divided the forest as far as they
could see on either side. It was a very wide ditch, and when they crept up to the edge and
2

looked into it they could see it was also very deep, and there were many big, jagged rocks at
the bottom. The sides were so steep that none of them could climb down, and for a moment
it seemed that their journey must end.
“What shall we do?” asked Dorothy despairingly.
“I haven’t the faintest idea,” said the Tin Woodman , and the Lion shook his shaggy mane
and looked thoughtful.
But the Scarecrow said, “We cannot fly, that is certain. Neither can we climb down into this
great ditch. Therefore, if we cannot jump over it, we must stop where we are.”
“I think I could jump over it,” said the Cowardly Lion , after measuring the distance
carefully in his mind.
“Then we are all right,” answered the Scarecrow, “for you can carry us all over on your back,
one at a time.”
“Well, I’ll try it,” said the Lion . “Who will go first?”
“I will,” declared the Scarecrow , “for, if you found that you could not jump over the gulf,
Dorothy would be killed, or the Tin Woodman badly dented on the rocks below. But if I am
on your back it will not matter so much, for the fall would not hurt me at all.”
“I am terribly afraid of falling, myself,” said the Cowardly Lion , “but I suppose there is
nothing to do but try it. So get on my back and we will make the attempt.”
The Scarecrow sat upon the Lion’s back, and the big beast walked to the edge of the gulf and
crouched down.
“Why don’t you run and jump?” asked the Scarecrow.
“Because that isn’t the way we lions do these things,” he replied. Then giving a great spring,
he shot through the air and landed safely on the other side. They were all greatly pleased to
see how easily he did it, and after the Scarecrow had got down from his back the Lion sprang
across the ditch again.
Dorothy thought she would go next; so she took Toto in her arms and climbed on the Lion’s
back, holding tightly to his mane with one hand. The next moment it seemed as if she were
flying through the air; and then, before she had time to think about it, she was safe on the
other side. The Lion went back a third time and got the Tin Woodman , and then they all sat
down for a few moments to give the beast a chance to rest, for his great leaps had made his
breath short, and he panted like a big dog that has been running too long.
